sick run renton. very nice

[kcheel]

I am having my tilt avoidance level tested tonight. Had a good run yesterday, dropped it tonight in less than an hour.

Just about every hand I have raised tonight has gotten 3 bet. Except the AA hand of course but it got cracked by a set.

I am fighting the move up and chase the loss move. May have to go play some donkaments or something.

[kcheel]

Sigh..basically all in with a donk PF, I have QQ, he has A4o. Of course the A comes, there goes another buyin.

You do seem to kind of suck at life though.

[the_main]

I was doing some thinking about 'fake-misclicks'.

This is basically when you have a very strong hand, and make an abnormally sized bet. This is done with the hopes your opponent will sense come kind of weakness and try to push you off your hand, or call down with a less marginal holding than they usually would.

Anyways, I was thinking of some ways you could exploit people in this way and came up with something pretty sneaky.

Now, I'm sharing because it wont really work well at my limits -- it's much better at 25NL or 50NL. It's also just an idea, I don't advocate using this! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Also forgive me if this is painfully standard, as I havn't played these limits for some time.

Now, in order for this to work, you need to have at least 101bb's at the table. It's also ideal when you have a few limpers in front of you.

So let's say you're playing 25NL and pick up AA on the button. Two limpers toss in thier .25$ and its to you. Instead of making a standard raise, you now raise to $25.25.

When it gets back to the limpers (or even the BB), they will see the option to call "$25", instead of "$.25".

Also, when you raise, you're only putting 2 chips in (the $25 and the $.25 chip), just like if you were minraising (2 $.25 chips). This is the key, and why it wont work as well at my limits.

It's very easy for your opponents to mistake this raise for a simple min-raise, and call off thier stack with trash. Hell, you might even get two callers with your aces!

I havn't tested this, but I think it could interesting.
